The Sword of His Own Creation

A Sword of His Own

Living free of the torment of a caged heart

Knowing that I never wish to be re-torn apart

Turning my gaze and it falling unto you -

Seeing your smile. And now rethinking what to do

Your hand in someone else’s, a smile strained,

Regret overwhelming, my heart shattered once again

Much Ado

Raging waters cannot put out the fire,

Crashing tides are contained by the walls of ire-

Wondering why the forces are there. So small

the resistance. What makes you fairest of them all?

The swells, they grow in size and so overtake.

A crown of Madness this forge of flame and water makes

Red Hot

The feeling spreads throughout. Burning sensation.

Thoughts swirling, head pounding, heart racing, my creation,

a prison, heaviness of guilt and of shame.

What arrow was loosed? to think it wouldn’t be the same.

such a fool, chasing carrots dangling ahead.

Right in front of me. the prize. You. Just above my head...

Shameless

You are the Eve, yet I am not the Adam-

the forbidden fruit, yet I’m the sacrificial lamb.

Reaching out to Grab stars. a fruitless effort.

no shame. worthless: a boat that you built in the desert.

salvaging wreckage, a ship that never saw the sea.

Eve with her Adam. me: never meant to be
